The third eye is part of the chakra system, and it is also called the Ajna. This is the place where you can see things and you can increase your intuition. It is found in the middle of the forehead, and it is where you reach your higher self.
The third eye allows you to be more spiritual and to reach the spiritual perspective that you want. It can help you to have visions and help you to increase your thoughts and beliefs around the world.
With the third eye, many people are given the clair gifts meaning that they are clairvoyant or they are able to use their sixth senses to know things. This means that they are more aware of what is going on in their life and they have things such as:
• Discernment.
• Self-awareness.
• Wisdom.
• Visions.
• Clarity.
• Imagination.
• Vivid dreams.
Balancing the Third Eye
The third eye needs to be balanced so that you can work the way that you need to. This gives you a wider perspective of life and the spiritual world.
The third eye is considered a feminine energy and it is seen with an upside down triangle with a lotus flower by it. It is associated with the color violet and the mantra to use with this chakra is, “I see.”
Earth and the Third Eye
Even though the chakras are found on the body they are also found on the earth. The third eye is something that is not found in a certain location but it can go all over the earth. Some believe it has to do with the rotation of the earth. The third eye chakra is also called the Aeon Activation Center and is believed by some that it changes due to the astrological age.
The Age of Aquarius can show people that the third eye works with the heart chakra that is found in Glastonbury, England but will change to Brazil when the Age of Capricorn comes.
